To be fair Edwards was nowhere near as promising at the same age/stage of his career. Bolton is a real talent. Can do it all .. just needs more games in the position to build consistency I reckon.

Pick 29: Shai Bolton

This.
Not so much about how Shai played today, but how he can be a superstar and matchwinner for the team. Be more Shedda.
1st option
Was a good game from Shai but I think the backline players deserve the plaudits today.
Vlastuin and broad were very good today.
If it wasn't for Shai, we wouldn't have kicked the 4 goals that we did.
The club would never allow him to be traded. He will reach the heights of Dusty in the next few years.
The reason he had a week at punt road could only have been to receive further training in midfield play, while his team mates met Melb.,
You mean we're going to have 2 "once in a generation" players in the same squad? So soon after having 2 in Dusty and Rance?
Thought he was outstanding in the first quarter , after that thought he was quiet , with the calls of B O G I thought I’d missed something, feel a bit more sane after seeing the Coaches votes . Definitely want him through the middle more
In early 2019, a now sadly passed Richmond mate & I watched a lot of VFL practice matches & early rounds, mainly at Punt Road. The two players who consistently shone playing midfield roles were Bolton & Stack. In this crazy AFL & life year, we could do worse than play both in the same role in the AFL team especially with the injuries we have. My late mate always saw Higgins as an eventual first rover given how clean his hands were in his debut 2018 season. Clearly something was amiss in 2019 but he’s been back to his original level in 2020.

I agree - I was huge on him early in the game as I thought he was dominant early. Disappeared after half time - not sure if he was still in the midfield or not but didnt seem to get near it. 4 quarter performance is the next step for him.
